Many people would love to start a garden, but lack the space and time to enjoy the green and healthy hobby of gardening.

The Ethical Treehouse
Building a treehouse that doesn't harm the tree, or restrict its growth often means paying special attention to engineering or using customized components like a Garnier limb. Toronto-based architecture firm Farrow Partnership Architects approaches this problem by hanging their curvaceous treehouse from the tree's upper trunk, rather than nailing to it. Inspired by the "samara," also known as those papery propeller seeds of the maple tree, … [Read more...]

Today is the United Nations Day of Happiness! Here is what they have to say about it: "Lasting happiness does not come from what we consume, how we look or how much we earn. But, let's be honest, you probably knew that already! Have you had enough of being made to feel poor in a world that is rich with opportunities to be happy? If so, then let's share a genuine vision of happiness and reclaim it back from those who try to manipulate us." So … [Read more...]
